Planning for Revisions

I chose to revise my argument analysis paper since it was my worst paper. I did not fully understand how to write an argument analysis, so I definitely wanted to retry and get it right.
To effectively rewrite the paper, I chose to only use the old paper as an outline of ideas for me to write on for my new paper. I chose to start fresh with my new argument analysis instead of correcting my grammar and structure from the failed paper. This turned out to be a much better paper, with better transitions and greater overview of the argument. 

Final Reflection

For my first blog post, I talked about how this class was a requirement for me to take, but I also stated that with it being a requirement I also wanted to become a better writer. I wanted to become a better writer because in most of my classes it was a requirement to write a lot of papers and essays, and I believe that this class has thought me to become a better writer.
I know that I still have a lot of weaknesses with my writing; one is that I tend to over write certain parts of the paper, or sometimes I don’t write enough.
But I have improved in my transitions from one idea to another and how my paper flows when read.
